DRENCHlNG-BOTTLE.

Y SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 529,978, datedNovember 27,1894.

Application iiled June 13, 1894 Serial No. 514,405. (No model.)

To a/ZZ whom it may concern,.-

Be it known that I, JOHN T. TURNER, of Jamestown, in the county ofStutsman and State of North Dakota, have inventeda new and ImprovedDrenchi'ng-Bott-le, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescrip-Y tion.

The invention relates to apparatus for administering medicine to horsesand other animals, and its object is to provide a new and improveddrenching bottle, which is simple and durable in construction, andarranged to permit of conveniently dosing the animal, without danger ofspilling the medicine contained in the bottle.

The invention consists in certain parts and details, and combinations ofthe same, as will be hereinafter fully described and then pointed out inthe claim.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the irnprovement. Fig. 2 is asectional side elevation of the same; and Fig. 3 is a sectional sideelevation of the filling vessel in place on the neck of the bottle.

The improved drenching bottle is provided with a bottom body portion A,from which extends the bent portion A', terminating in a neck part A2bent in an opposite direction to the part A', as plainly shown in Fig.1.

The bottle is preferably made of glass, vand tapers by graduated degreesfrom the bottom part A to the neck A2, and the said bottle is preferablycovered by a sheet metal or other cover B on the outside of the bottle.

The neck of the bottle is adapted to be closed by a stopper O, and onthe bottom portion of the cover B screws a cap D, formed in its middlewith the funnel D', adapted to fit over the neck of the bottle, asindicated 'in Fig. 3, to conveniently fill the bottle with the medicineto be administered.

It is understood that for the purpose of tilling the bottle the cap D isunscrewed from the bottom end of the lining, and replaced aftery thebottle is filled.

The bottom of the bottle is curved inward sufficiently to makesufficient room for the funnel D', as will f be readily understood byreference to Fig. 2.

After the bottle is filled with medicine and the cork C is removed, thenthe operator can conveniently pass the neck A2 of the bottle into thesomewhat opened mouth of the animal, and then by quickly turning thebottle around with the neck portion inserted, the contents of the bottlewill readily run out and into the animals mouth and down the throatthereof, to be swallowed in the usual way. Thus it will be seen that thedouble bend or crook in the bottle permits of inserting the neck of thebottle in the mouth, while the principal or main portion of the bottleis in a lowermost or downward position, and by then turning the bodyportion with the neck A2 as a fulcrum, the bottle is readily emptied ofits contents.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- A drenching bottle having an enlarged bottom andcontracted outlet, a protecting covering closely fitting and inclosingthe bottle and open at 'its larger end, and an annular cap D removablyfitting the said larger end and having a funnel D' adapted to enter thesmaller end of the bottle when said cap is removed, substantially asdescribed.

JOHN TURNER.
